King Arthur: Excalibur Rising

This viewing was a real struggle. There was little mystery, poor film direction, and the action and dialogue were badly contrived. I tend to not blame actors since they too can be victims, but most could have tried to have given their roles some character. I mean, Merlin was casted because he looks like Ian McKellen's Gandalf...talk about being desperate for viewers. And Arthur's evil son was filmed hooded and from behind because...wait for it...he had a nasty scar on his cheek...sigh. I think if this was viewed under MST3K setting, it could provide humor, something I had trouble finding as it currently stands. Just doesn't have enough outrageousness, like Hawk the Slayer, to obtain cult status.

This film is absolutely dreadful. The sword fighting scenes are overly choreographed and are similar to what you would expect in an amateur pantomime. If you watch this film you will laugh at the appallingly bad CGI wolf. I cringed and shook my head with embarrassment for those involved with this offering. Surely the actors, production staff, producer and director will have been acutely aware that this is a very poor film indeed.

Truly awful. I was hoping with a 2017 production that this would be a gripping tale with good acting and great special effects. What a waste of time. It felt like a very poor episode from a third rate TV series rather than a movie in its own right. The concept of the story was quite good, but completely let down by poor production, awful camera work, bad acting and truly awful special effects. AVOID AVOID AVOID !

I wish I had read the reviews before I watched the movie.

I can not add to what everyone else has commented on.

I gave a 1 star rating only for the music. Too bad the acting and script and plot were not as good. Was this done as a high school art project?

I watched this movie hoping for an imaginative re-working of a legend which enthralled me as a kid . . . but I was appalled at how badly this one was put together. Although the story-line was encouraging, the acting, editing and direction was absolutely abysmal. My wife and I were laughing during the supposedly climactic moments, watching third-rate actors stumble through lines that were truly forgettable, scenes that were embarrassing in their stupidity, and ultimately left us wondering why - Why would anyone allow this movie to be released?
